Just a quick post before I head off to work…
Littlest Chick (my son, in case you’re new to my blog) was reading one of my blog posts the other day when he encountered his name. He’s like, “Mama, you call me Littlest Chick? Why would you do that when 1) I am the [...]

Technology is definitely a good thing. It allows us to communicate instantly with people across town, across the country, or across the house.
Did I just say “across the house.”
Yes, I sure did.
Technology can be a bad thing too, as evidenced by Mr. AuburnChick’s recent behavior.
Do you remember that I bought him a new cell [...]

Whew! What a week! I woke up today hoping that it was Friday.
Um, no, it’s only Wednesday. Boy am I tired. Feels like I’ve been through the wringer.
First of all, you already know about my friend’s son. The project to collect money and get packages sent is going quite nicely. [...]

This week, I received a prayer request from a friend on Knittinghelp.com. Her 10 year-old son was badly burned in an accident. He received 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 60% of his body and was transported to a Shriner’s hospital for long-term care. He will probably be at the hospital for [...]

As the 4th of July nears, I thought I would take a few moments to reflect on what this day means to me.
I’ll admit that my first thought is “Long Weekend,” since the holiday happens to fall on a Friday this year. Sleeping in, eating barbecue, and watching fireworks are the first images that [...]

I have to say that I shed some tears on Saturday, and it wasn’t even Soccer Chick’s fault.
I saw a big envelope on my front porch and noticed the return address. The envelope was heavy. I just knew what was inside
I went into the house and gathered the family for the grand unveiling. [...]

Today was Graduation Day!!! Even though I finished the end of February, the commencement ceremony wasn’t until today.
As any girl would do, I had to prepare. The biggest question? How was I going to wear my hair?
I have thick, naturally curly hair. Wearing hats is very difficult cause I have such [...]

As you are all probably aware, I’m not exactly the most suave gal. My cooking skills are…well…lacking. Actually, I can’t stand to cook. My cleaning skills are…well…lacking. I can’t stand to clean. My gardening skill are…well…lacking. Just take a look at my yard. I’m sure the neighbors wish I [...]

It’s Father’s Day. I thought I would take a few minutes to reflect on my dad.
I didn’t know my dad very well. He and my mom divorced when I was about four years old. It was a nasty affair, and as a result, I didn’t see my dad for most of my [...]
